The American Institute for War Research, one of the most important research institutes in the world in the field of warfare and strategy, determined today (Saturday) that the Ukrainian army won the battle over the city of Kharkiv and that Russian forces were driven out of the region.
According to the organization's report, Russian defense in Kharkiv province was completely shattered, and forces abandoned equipment and positions in the city, the second largest in Ukraine, in retreat toward the Russian border. , And not at the expense of regular forces, eroding in fierce fighting.

In addition, military sources in Ukraine told Israel Today that the new positions occupied by the Ukrainians allow artillery fire towards the northern railway line in the direction of Izumi, an important base of Russian forces in the Donbas.
This is a significant threat to the northern placement in the Russian siege attempt in eastern Ukraine.
Yesterday it was reported in the country that the Russians are shifting forces from a balance axis in order to try and produce a smaller encirclement near the city of Sverdontsek south of there.
This means that it is probably a waiver of an attempt to capture by siege the main Ukrainian force in Donbas.
The decision comes in the wake of a devastating battle for the Russian army around the town of Biluhorivka, in which a large armored force on the scale of a battalion combat team was destroyed, after an attempt fell across a river and flanked the Ukrainian army.
